[The blackberry feed, from the bureau across the room, shows a dark, messy (or rather, unorganised) bedroom. The curtains are drawn, but let in a little light. Everything is still, apart from the figure, hunched over on the bed. Although the details of their face cannot quite be distinguished, by the help of a candle on the bedside table, it is apparent that they are reading something, or rather deciphering or translating. A notebook, gripped fiercly in their left hand, a quil floating above the right hand, which is tracing it's fingers down the page of the book. The person is deep in thought, until, quietly at first, a piano can be heard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmFxihFyszw&feature=related)

This makes them stop, and lift their head. As the light hits their face, it turns out to be a young woman. She frowns, before getting to her feet, and heading towards the blackberry, but stopping shortly before it. Grabbing it up, she doesn't know which to react to first; the mysterious music or this new addition to what she believes to be her bedroom. After pressing a few buttons in experiment, she manages to turn off the feed, but audio still remains on, unbeknowst to her.]

What is this...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Gustave tilts his ear to the sound, he's walking past in the corridor outside the room and he stops to listen to the music.

He likes it.

He just stands there and listens]

[Having found the blackberry, the music is probably getting drowned out by the sounds of her moving things, cursing in irritation, before opening the door suddenly on the young boy. She just stares at him for a minute or so, the witch not best pleased]

Who are you?

(Gustave falls backwards, startled, and he looks up at Elphaba with wide eyes)

Oh gosh... hello...

(he blinks a few times, then smiles with childish delight)

Good lord, you're all green!

[The music seems to match her expression and current mood~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypRLruV9Vqk (ignore the crappy video~)]

Well done, but that doesn't answer my question

Sorry ma'am, how rude of me,
You startled me that's all,
My name is Gustave, ma'am
Gustave de Chagney

(his words come out a little song like)

[His politeness certainly help matters, but she still regards him with suspicion. The piano calms down a little]

I see..where am I? It's obvious I'm not home anymore..

I'm not really sure myself,
It's a place of strange wonder,
Nobody really knows how they got here
... I just call it the manner...

(ooh, spooky music)

The manor..? You mean there are more people here? How many?

...erm...

I don't know exactly - maybe thirty or forty
At a guess
But I can't be sure,

What's your name, anyway, miss?

..Elphaba, I'm Elphaba..

[She sounds distracted as she walks to the banister and leans on it, not entirely sure how she's supposed to react]

(Gustave stands up and hovers behind her)

It's rather nice here actually,
It's not so bad at all

That may be, but I shouldn't be- wait...[She looks up and seems to be thinking rapidly to herself]

Perhaps it won't be so bad..but I should still be home

I no longer have a home to go back to -
So I'm quite happy here.

(he looks at the floor and shrugs a little)

[She glances down at him]

..I see..I'm sorry to hear that..

It's alright, things are just very strange for me at the moment.

I'm sorry if you need to get home. I suppose for most people it's a bad thing to be trapped here.

It has it's pro's and cons..

[She then starts towards the stairs, and heads down without another word]

[James Potter's face pops up. Spoken]

Hullo.

[I've written Elphaba so that she doesn't realise she's not in her house anymore; poor girl, thinking lots of strange people are in her tower =D]

[She looks at James in confusion, before frowning]

Who are you? Why're you here?

[James smiles charmingly. He still doesn't know who or what she is but he's not going to be rude about it. She is a girl after all and a fairly attractive one, even if she is green.]

James Potter stranded and fairly confused. As for here here, I walked the door was opened so I poked my head in. You?

[He holds out his hand]

[She looks at his hand for a moment or so, before shaking it slowly, looking him up and down]

Elphaba..

[She then takes her hand back, and looks around at the corridor]

I'm going to take a wild guess and I say I'm not home anymore..

Er, no you're not. Sorry.

Wonderful..alright, well, would you mind telling me where I am?

A mansion surrounded by weird glass. That's about all we know.

[Then, in the background the music begins to swell]

...I see..well that's a pain..

And where is that music coming from?

[James answers in song]

It comes from all around! no source of the sound!

[She looks at him with a look of confusion and amusement]

..if you say so~ [Her answer is slightly musical, but she tries to control it as much as possible]
